Our Mornings

My day has been full to overflowing as there is always something to keep me busy. My day began as almost every other morning . . .

get the boys out of bed for school. Trying to drag those lil' o' raggedy bodies out from under cozy covers can be a challenge . . . except on the weekends when I WANT them to sleep in. They were FINALLY all out of bed, dressed, had their hair and teeth brushed and ready for breakfast.

Breakfast can be a challenge in itself with four little boys. One has either eaten the last of someone else's favorite breakfast food (of course it is always done on purpose according to my boys), someone tries to help another and that brother gets upset because "I can do it myself" or

we have completely run out of something and that is the ONLY food they want and I haven't restocked the pantry.

Shame on ME for not planning better so we didn't run out! lol

It isn't long after that I rush them out the door. Of course, most mornings Mia, or Mi-Ki MUST go along. Some mornings Kamie the Shelti and Emma the Lhasa want to join in the fun and tag along too.

If you are at my house or in my car mornings before school, this is what you might hear . . .

Get your shoes on Boys

grab your lunch

got your bag?

make sure your homework is IN your bag

put your jacket on

put your book bags in the back of the car

get in your seat and get your seat belt on

STOP . . . you don't need to poke or touch your brother

Who is kicking the back of my seat?

Wow . . . what is the temperature? Watch the thingy (on the dash it tells the temperature outside).

M-O-M . . . M-O-M . . . M-O-M

(insert name here) was BREATHING on ME . . .

and his breath STINKS

(insert name here) Stop breathing on your brother, he doesn't like it.

Did you know Israel is a country?

Israel is DEFINITELY a country.

M-O-M . . . is Israel a country?

STOP . . . I'm tellin'

M- - - O - - - M

What?

(insert name here) said a bad word

Who?

(insert name here)

What word did he say?

stupid

(insert name here) stop saying that word it isn't nice

(insert grumble, grumble, grumble)

Son . . . I don't want to hear about it . . . you shouldn't say that word . . .

it isn't nice. (insert a grumbly o.k. here)

Before we know it (whew) . . . THANKFULLY . . . we are at school.

G'bye Boys have a nice day . . . love ya . . . be obedient . . .

don't talk when you aren't supposed to, mind your manners,

eat your lunch, be a good friend, use listening ears

Good bye . . . see ya after school.

Love you too!

(Dear Lord . . . I pray for the teachers and staff at the school today. They need as many prayers as they can get! Amen)

Who Am I?

Our Lives Unscripted is 100% the way our family lives. We rarely make plans in advance because LIFE happens.
I truly believe God has a tremendous sense of humor . . . especially when He BLESSED us with FOUR little boys all within five years time.
God has also blessed us with a beautiful daughter . . . she is gorgeous inside and out!
I have been married to my husband Randy for almost 30 years and he is my best friend. Randy was injured when we had only been married 4 years and lives day to day with a permanent handicap to both of his knees.
God sees us through each and every day. Through the challenges and blessings! To Him do we Praise!

Welcome to Our Lives Unscripted!

My blog features life as a Mom to Five . . . my teenage daughter is 18 and my four boys are ages: 9, 8, 7 and 5. My days are never the same, my kiddos guarantee that. There are times that I know that no-one, absolutely NO-One would believe my story without pictures. I will post a little of this and that from our lives - sometimes funny, sad, challenging, hysterical, unbelievable or just a bit of common every day life.

The Fall of 2012 brings about changes in our lives . . . we are Home Schooling our FOUR boys. I am sure it will be interesting . . . AND challenging.

I am also Mom to a child with SEVERE Peanut & Tree Nut Allergies. Eating can be a definite challenge. Trying to keep my little guy SAFE is a top priority! Trying to educate others is quite a challenge! Would you believe some people actually think parents of food allergy children "over react"? Hmmmm I wonder how THEY would react if it were their precious child whose life is at risk if he/she ate something contaminated with life threatening allergens. I am quite certain, they would LEARN very quickly to "over react"!

Be sure to check out the tabs below the header as I have included my other blog, drawings and even a few recipes.

I welcome you to join as a follower or simply lurk. Feel free to ask questions by leaving a comment or sending me an email. You are sure to find adventure or maybe a giggle or two. So grab your cup of coffee or tea and relax at my place for a while. I would love the company.
